A Toby Memory


Toby had a real problem with me working on my feet. I never did anything painful or outrageous, but still, if he saw me doing it, he would get a very concerned look on his orange face. Then he would pull my hand away so I could pet him instead. Maybe he knew how much he disliked it when I trimmed his claws, and assumed it was awful for me too.

Unbelievably, we have more Angels. Wally from The Island Cats, and Sammy the Meezer. I imagine we all know by now. Really, haven't there been enough crossings for this year?

In possibly related news, I picked up a box from an office supply store for my work today that included no less than seven wine vouchers from nakedwines.com. Is this a message from the universe or something???

**** I'm in no way promoting this wine company, I just thought it was a funny name. I don't even drink.

    1. There are other cats who I've read about on FB recently, but I didn't know them. Just too depressing to list them all, especially right now.

  5. Sweet picture for a funny story.
    There are far too many friends going to the Bridge, and now I have just seen that Only from the Cats of Wildcat woods has joined them too.

  10. We never pay any attention to what TBT does to his feet. Better him than us.

    Aside from that, TBT says that when the Universe grants you wine, it means it is OK to drink it...

  12. So very sad, especially since I've met Angel Wally in the fur, and petted him and gave him love. His people are very upset; he went too fast, and too young. That's a lovely photo of Angel Toby...his face full of concern!

  13. Ohhhh Angel Toby... maybe he was worried he would be the next to get a pedicure. Or more than likely if you hands were moving they should just be on him. This made me think of crazy Angel Madi. If she was on the table when I was looking at magazine or the newspaper, she would sit on whatever I was looking at.
    Love that photo of Toby....and I'm thankful good memories are replacing sad ones.
    Hugs Cecilia

  15. Our late Tucker had an issue with my big toes. I have no idea why but if I wasn't wearing socks he would bite them.

  16. Toby was a sweet boy. That is a funny name for wine. My hubby makes wine, but I don't drink and he only does at the holidays.

  17. It's never too late to start drinking ;) Just kidding. I don't drink wine either - ever.

  18. It's true. Way too many friends have been departing for the Bridge lately. Our hearts are so heavy with grief. Thank you for this special story about your sweet Toby. It made us smile, thinking of his empathy as you worked on your feet. XO
